Introduction:

I started the search for a laptop or notebook online for my engineering teaching job. I compared various laptops for a price range between Rs. 23,000 to Rs. 30,000. Luckily I got the best deal with a 10% credit card discount and other cash back from the website itself. I got the laptop on 9th July 2018 and I have been using this laptop since then. Followings are my observation regarding the use of ASUS X541UA-XO217T.

Laptop Specifications:

This 15.6" and 2 kg silver gradient colored ASUS X541UA laptop comes with Intel Core i3 processor with 2.4 GHz processing speed. The ATA Serial hard disk is having 1 TB memory size and having. The RAM is of DDR4 type and size is of 4 GB which is enough for daily or office work or college work along with medium size software which requires the moderate speed of calculation. The laptop also comes with CD/DVD ROM. The connectivity ports include 1 VGA, 1 HDMI, 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 ports.

Personal Experience

Keyboard

The keyboard is very soft and does not make any sound while typing. The few drawbacks as I have experienced are that keyboard does not give caps lock indication and also does not have End key which is used to set cursor at the last position in a line. The key travel distance during pressing of any key is 2.3 mm. The rest area nearer to the keyboard is large. Keyboard also comes with number pad and that makes typing formula or number task easy.

WiFi

The laptop does not have WiFi button and because of this WiFi always remains in ON condition which might increase the battery usage.

Operating System

This laptop comes with pre-installed windows 10. The pre-installed Windows 10 gives a genuine support from Microsoft in case of any error or during trouble. It also comes with 60 days trial version of McAfee antivirus.

Battery

The battery type of this laptop is Lithium Ion. It is suggested to have 500 full charging cycles before changing the battery. The battery backup is also fantastic. It is advised in operating manual that one should not fully discharge the battery and do not operate on AC power directly. Charge the battery when the power in the battery shows minimum of 5 hours of battery power available during the time when AC power adapter is not connected. The partial discharge cycles are advisable. One should charge the battery when the power is left between 20 to 60%. The charger-adapter is of very compact design and is one if the salient feature I like about it.

Sound-Speaker

The SonicMaster speakers are of 3 W capacity and feels like woofer play.

Warranty

The laptop is covered with the one-year on-site warranty on hardware and software which are pre-installed.

Final comments

The budget ASUS X541UA-XO217T laptop of about Rs. 26000 comes with great features like Full HD display, 3W speakers, soft and silent keyboard, large palm rest area and Num pad with the keyboard is an extra benefit. The preinstalled Windows 10 is a huge benefit for Microsoft genuine support. 4 GB RAM and Core i3 are best suitable for college and home purpose.
